When I play m4b files on my computer, they open with iTunes. I can stop the file, but I cannot resume the file from within iTunes. In order to pick up where I left off, I have to open the file again.

How can I resume where I left off from within iTunes? Is there another program that will play m4b files and resume from where you left off?

WPF MediaPlayer doesn't play M4A?

I am trying to use a MediaPlayer instance to play M4A files. For those of you that aren't familiar, MediaPlayer is the non-XAML version of a MediaElement. There are pretty much the same, but I don't want any XAML, so I use a MediaPlayer instead. Anyways, it plays some M4A files just fine. The NaturalDuration… >>> More

What is the difference between an .aac file and an .m4a file? If I just change the file extension of an audio file recorded and then converted into "AAC" between .aac/.m4a it drastically affects how the file is treated. AAC: Plays in a web browser, not on the iPad M4A: Plays on the iPad, not on… >>> More

Moving media files while preserving itunes rating in itunes

Hi, I've seen many threads on how to move an entire media collection from one machine to another. I want to organize my mp3 directories, but any copied file loses its reference from itunes library, thus, when I add it to itunes again, it'll have no rating data. I guess it's possible if I manipulate… >>> More
